​

And the children say: "Let's start work!".

Then the children make the moves related to the profession they have chosen. The king tries to find out the hidden profession.

If he finds it, he speaks it out loudly and chases after a child who becomes the next king.

If he does not understand, he sits down again and the game is repeated…
